    Brief

    The University of Strathclyde seeks to procure laser waveguide writing equipment for photonics packaging applications. This equipment will support the National Centre for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging (NCASP), a UK initiative to establish sovereign, open-access advanced semiconductor packaging capability. NCASP addresses market failures in the UK semiconductor industry by creating an integrated, industry-led facility that connects device design to domestic high-volume packaging, test, and metrology services. The waveguide writing equipment will enable precision laser-based waveguide fabrication for photonics applications, supporting the scaling of innovative UK photonics and power electronics technologies to volume production. This reduces time-to-market, mitigates intellectual property risks, decreases supply chain fragmentation, and strengthens the UK's technological independence in critical semiconductor technologies. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability in laser waveguide writing systems, delivery logistics, professional installation services, and support for advanced photonics packaging workflows.
